Perception and action

We study vision, hearing, touch, balance and motor control and decisions. Our aim is to understand how perceptual information is processed, how it influences actions, how voluntary and automatic actions are generated, and how actions influence perception in return. We use methodologies including psychophysics, eye movement recording, computational modelling, fMRI and MEG.

Cognitive psychology

We study learning, remembering, language, reasoning, decision making and the perception of causality. As well as focusing on basic theoretical questions, the group has input into applied aspects of human performance such as the impact of brain damage on face recognition.
